View and strip EXIF data
Upload a photo to see its embedded camera, date, and GPS metadata — then download a clean copy with it removed. Nothing you upload ever leaves this page.

What's actually hiding in a photo's metadata
EXIF data embedded by most cameras and phones includes far more than most people expect: exact GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, the specific camera/phone model, the exact date and time, and sometimes the software used to edit it. None of this is visible when you look at the image itself — it's stored as invisible metadata inside the file, readable by anyone the file is shared with who knows to check.
Why stripping it matters before sharing
Sharing a photo publicly (social media, a marketplace listing, a forum post) with GPS EXIF data intact can reveal your home address or exact location at the time — a real, well-documented privacy risk, not a theoretical one. Most major social platforms strip EXIF automatically on upload, but direct file shares (email, messaging apps, cloud storage links) typically don't.
Does a photo really contain my exact GPS location?
If GPS was enabled on the camera/phone at the time, yes — the exact coordinates are embedded as EXIF metadata, readable by anyone who opens the file with the right tool, even though the location isn't visible anywhere in the image itself.
Do social media sites already strip this automatically?
Most major platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X) do strip EXIF data on upload, but this isn't universal or guaranteed across every platform, and it does not apply to files shared directly via email, messaging apps, or cloud storage links — strip it yourself before sharing if you're not certain.
Will stripping EXIF data affect image quality?
No — EXIF is metadata stored separately from the actual pixel data. Stripping it removes only the metadata; the image itself is completely unchanged.
